just to update, recently posted about my bfp but sadly turned into a chemical pregnancy started bleeding 2 days later the day af was due. i must admit im not liking these early pregnancy tests very much at all, if i didnt test early i would never of known.

i find that everytime i catch ovulation im always pregnant but again sadly had a chemical april 2011, miscarraige at 6 weeks inn october 2011 and another chemical now, its very weird its like i have all pregnany related symptoms up until my bfp then they dissapear and af arrives. i think im not producing enough hormone to keep it going , docs just told me to scrap opk and stop testing as my stress levels are whats causing it to try and destress and relax and it will happen

Oh hun! I'm sooooo sorry! I know what a miscarriage feels like and I've had 5 of them, only 1 was chemical and trust me it's better early than later like my 18 week one. It's still heartaching and tragic I know, but those docs should be testing you, not telling you stuff that might not be true. Have you been taking vitamins and maybe baby aspirin would help? Whatever it is I hope the docs can help you or at least make an effort instead of just giving you advice. Maybe find some new doctors that actually care and could test you for stuff. I'm here if you wanna talk or have any questions.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

a chemical could also not even have anything to do with you... maybe get your second half of this baby making process (I don't know if your married or have a bf) but have him get a semen analysis maybe or get both of your chromosomes checcked. That is what we did, not the semen analysis but we got chromosomes checcked cuz most of chemical pregnancies are related to chromosomal abnormalities. Hope that helps you!

Hey - no I've never heard of going on prednisone with Femara - Did your doc say why that would be protocol? Interesting.
Oh and this trigger is kicking my butt. I'm tremendously exhausted!! Craziness!

I hope I can get to know everyone here on the board. You ladies seem like a great group!

[laustiredttc]

Yea they really do know how to push buttons...I've been there on the days I planned to bd with him, we get in these arguments and then it's like..."nothing like killing the mood" or ruining this day of all days through the month! Ugh! Anyways, glad you made upand get back to it tonight!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Laus-allyou can do is move on...at least we have something to look forward to every month. Just don't want a after everything ya know? Awesome, you're finally in the 2ww with me! Good luck and FX!

 

[HWPG]

hi! good morning!
seems like everyone's in fairly good spirits, positive and counting (up or down). i'm at cd11, neg opk, but dont expect pos for a few more days. i think i'm going to give the Preseed a shot tonight.... a little excited and nervous! i'm having visions of it bursting out everywhere, or him being like "whoa and done" (haha, even typing this is making me blush! ).... but i think it can probably be fun and funny also.
Mama, you give good advice. seems like you've gone thru some hard experiences and we're fortunate to have your wisdom.
laus, aug 17th!? yikes! i know you can do it!
hey, it's Friday! woohoo!

Ok so we used Pre-Seed this past cycle and it was uhh ... not my favorite. It just made it a little too slick. Kind of like if you put baby oil on a finished granite counter top then tried to drive on it. :-/ Terrible description but nonetheless that
was my experience. So what we ended up doing those couple days was just letting husband have his fun and I'd wait until we weren't having baby-making sex to truly enjoy it. Haha.

 

[laustiredttc]

thanks mama, yeah happy to finally be in the tww.

hw, you crack me up girl. i'll tell ya though it is proper funny using it. Doesnt exactly burst out but lets just say hope you don't have egyptian cotton sheets

i really hope i can hang on till the 17th, i have loads of cheap hpt but just dont want to do what did last month and poas every two mins. last month i was dissecing the damn things, turning them inside out thinking 'i know there is another line in there somewhere'.
Sooooooooo not doing that this month, my looney tune other self is staying firmly put in the cupboard, maybe till at least the first part of the tww, then i might break her out

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Hw-thanks..yes had a lot of experiences. I'm here for all of you gals and I love giving advice and sharing my wisdom. Preseed is fine just don't use too much. I usually use 3m but you can always start out with less.

Laus-your funny. I would wait but with my last pregnancy I found out on cd24 which I was 9 or 10dpo so I figure if I test a little earlier maybe something will show. I know every pregnancy is different though.

Man towards nighttime or at nighttime and while I'm trying to sleep is NOT fun! I just feel funny like sick or achey and can't sleep worth a poo! As of right now or today I feel positive it worked this month, but I could be wrong.

 

[Brayr08]

I hope you're right mama!!! It would be so awesome if you got your BFP!!!

 

[Snizuitz]

Great, now I'm singing Eye of the Tiger, Laus!

Shobbs! I am so sorry! I've only ever had one chemical, but it was heartbreaking. I agree, sometimes it's better not to know. But the good news is that you know you can get preggers! My doc was very interested in the fact that we had a near miss because it showed most of the mechanics were working. So, there's a little silver lining!

Pre-seed is my friend! I really like it, but we only use a tiny bit. A couple times I've used the applicator, but only pulled the plunger back to the first line because more than that is ridiculous! Other than that, we just use a tiny daub to get things going, if you know what I mean. It was very helpful when I was on Clomid because that stuff dries you out so much!

Taylor, I think the Prednisone is supposed to stop my body from rejecting a fertilized egg or something. But hubby read that it also stops my body from killing his sperm. Who knows? I was more worried about side effects when talking to my doctor than about what it was actually for. I guess next time I'll ask more questions!

I am now 1dpo and my temp this morning confirmed O. So begins my TWW. Hopefully all of our last TWW!!!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Bray- Thanks hun, me too! I hope we all get bfp this time around together!

Sniz-Yay! Your in the 2ww too! Good luck to you and FX! Are you gonna test early, if so, when?

 

[laustiredttc]

hey mama i really really hope this is the month for you huni, i think your amazing to be so strong

sni, hope that all the meds work out. It must be hard but i know you will get through it.
i'm also 1dpo huni, bring on the tww

 

[TaylorDF]

Oh Sniz I had no idea that that even really happened. Interesting! And about the sperm murdering - I was worried my mucus was hostile due to any hormone imbalance I may have - doc did a test and said I had 'perfect mucus' (lol what a strange thing to be told) so I'm hoping what he said holds true. But there's always a hurdle I feel - so I'm just trying to stay positive.

Also - we have JUST found a 'therapy' that actually works for me and make me O so this is the first month we've even had a chance! If I find myself a few months in the future still getting BFNs I'll ask about the prednisone. I went on dexamethazone a few months ago (very low dose) and I blew up like a whale shark. Ugh. Steroids do NOT agree with me.
